Dutton Ranch Chardonnay 2022

Pale lemon color with aromas of stone fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus rind, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A nice Chardonnay, ‘21 a bit better! — 5 days ago

Los Carneros Pinot Noir 2018

Deep Ruby color with aromas of black fruits, cedar and baking spice, aged in about 30% new French oak for 12 months. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and raspberry with cola, floral and sweet cinnamon herb spice notes. Full-bodied, fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak, herbs and an earthy mineral character. Nice! Organic! — 6 days ago

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Full of character. Cedar comes through strong. Earthy with a heavy finish. Quality wine, but not sure if it’s worth the $. — 16 days ago

As rule of thumb, yes, but not always… for example, 2003’s, I don’t think I’ve tasted a good Napa wine from that vintage. This is not to say that there aren’t any good wines, just that I haven’t tasted any.

Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

DEEP red color, almost black and non-see-through. Big fruit forward nose, jammy dark ripe fruits, with hints of blood orange and violet peppered in. A big fruit palate with hints of graphite, vanilla and wood, with tight tannins that hang on and don’t let you forget, with a lithe, tight acidity that shows that it still needs some time to reach its peak, despite the pedigree. This is a prime example of modern Napa cab, dry but fruity, but bombs, American as hell, distinctive and brash, and not ready to play on the big stage, but lots of potential. — a month ago
